Heidi Pino

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with graduate degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Psychology, with an emphasis in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, integrative, and tailored to your individual needs rather than one-size-fits-all. I incorporate EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, attachment-based therapy, mindfulness, and somatic and nervous-system-informed strategies. With couples, I integrate Gottman Method and Relational Life Therapy principles. I am an active, engaged therapist. I listen with compassion while also asking meaningful questions, identifying patterns, offering practical tools, and respectfully challenging you when it supports growth. Together, we may process unresolved experiences, rebuild self-trust, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier ways of relating. Therapy moves at your pace, with safety, collaboration, and meaningful change at the center of our work.

I believe many of the patterns we eventually see as “problems” began as ways of coping, protecting ourselves, or maintaining connection. We may learn to overthink, people-please, disconnect, avoid, control, or put others first because, at some point, those responses made sense. Healing begins when we approach these patterns with curiosity rather than shame. I believe your past can shape you without defining you. Therapy offers an opportunity to understand what happened, recognize how it continues to influence you, and choose what you want to carry forward. I also believe compassion and accountability can exist together. You deserve a space where you feel understood and supported while also being encouraged to recognize patterns that may no longer serve you. At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens through safety, compassion, and connection—helping you rebuild self-trust, reconnect with yourself, and create healthier, more authentic relationships.
